"Beagle", Mammalia, p. 72 . TYPE LOCALITY: Chile , Tierra del Fuego, Straits of Magellan, south shore near eastern entrance . DISTRIBUTION: Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, neighboring islands, and southernmost Chile ; limits uncertain. SYNONYMS: ultimus . COMMENTS: Hershkovitz (1962) had suggested that other nominal species would prove to be synonyms of E. chinchilloides . This taxonomy has been followed ( Mann, 1978 ; Yanez et al., 1987 ) but misrepresents species diversity in the genus (see Pearson and Christie, 1991 ).
